In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from your unit for Dr. Grace's class. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.) Then you will write your first drafts of your Introduction and Conclusion.
G.R.A.S.P.S
(Feel free to copy and paste what you have for the GRASPS portion of your unit for Dr. Grace in Stage 2.)
Goal
To educate the public about evolution
Role
You are a newscaster
Audience
Your clients are WGME 13 directors
Situation
You are providing breaking news for evidence of evolution.
Product & Performance
You will create a news broadcasting using iMovie in order to present and explain evidence for evolution.
Students will understand that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by scientific evidence. They will understand that there are different ways to define common ancestry. They will also understand that our taxonomic systems and identification methods have developed over time.
Introduction
The idea of evolution was a major breakthrough from Charles Darwin. It is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. This scientific theory was not accepted for the longest time, and to this day there are still many disbelievers. It is important for the theory of evolution to be completely accepted, because understanding that all things come from a common ancestor allows for the discovery and understanding of new species.
Task
This is just in! The scientists at Mt. Blue Labs have discovered some ground-breaking evidence supporting the theory of evolution! You're part of a team of newscasters who really want their big break on live television. Your job is to create an exciting and informative news broadcast that explains the emerging evidence for evolution. It should be thorough and fit in a time slot of no more than 6 minutes. It also must be interesting enough to win the approval of the directors of WGME13. All information must be accurate!
Conclusion
The scientist and Mt. Blue Labs, and the directors at WGME 13 thank you for all the work you have done. You have effectively educated the public about the theory of evolution by showing scientific evidence. The news story will be aired tonight on the 7:00 news. Without your help, the scientists may not have been able to get the information across in a way that everyone in the nation could understand. This news article has connected people with the fact that evolution does exist, and it will continue to mold our earth as time goes on. can use this evidence to identify new species, and figure out which ancestor they stem from. The scientists of Mt. Blue Labs are indebted to you and the directors of WGME 13 hope you will continue to educate people on the theory of evolution. Thank you!
